Dec. 15: Screening of ‘Seed’ at Neighborhood Connections

Doreen Fabiano and Carlene Lindgren, local advocates for the environment and other important issues, will host a showing of the documentary film SEED: The Untold Story at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 15 at Neighborhood Connections, at 5700 Vt. Route 100 in Londonderry.

Few things on Earth are as vital and miraculous as seeds. According to seedthemovie.com, 94 percent of our seed varieties have disappeared.

As biotech chemical companies control the majority of seeds, farmers, scientists, lawyers and indigenous seed keepers fight to defend the future of our food.

This screening is open to all and presented at no charge, but register at 802-824-4343 to attend.
